Author's Note: I changed some things last chapter. The main one being how fast Minato defeated his opponents because most of you seemed to think it was unimpressive along with bumping Transparent Escape from a B to an A rank. Other than that there's nothing else so enjoy.
After the exhausting interrogation was over and the girls had been put to bed I headed out to the Root base preparing for yet another interrogation from Saiko. Sure enough she was waiting just inside the base tapping her foot with arms crossed. "Finally," she grabbed me and started dragging me through the base. "I've heard that you've been officially acknowledged as adopted by the Hokage but that's of less importance to the fact you have a date with Hina."
'I think your priorities are a little messed up there.' "Wait, how do you even know about that? You should have only been up for like an hour at most?" She continued dragging me along as she replied.
"Don't underestimate the power of gossip and bored ninja." I was temporarily distracted by a pop up.
Ding!
Word of your adoption is spreading like wildfire and you have unlocked the conditions for the following title.
Son of a Kage – The eyes of the village and the world will be upon you. Your actions or inactions will reflect upon Konoha and your standing in the world will rise. People will be more likely to listen to your word but beware the hidden daggers that seek you. Welcome to a new war, one of honeyed words, and subtle lies, instead of swords.
This title can be equipped as a secondary title and will be equipped now.
Saiko paused mid step as the new title was equipped and turned to face me. I couldn't see her face but I'm sure she was scrutinizing me and she slowly started to circle me as she poked and prodded me. "What did you do brat?"
"Why are you circling me?" I tried to deflect with a question.
"Don't try to deflect. Something about you changed. You seem…" she trailed off and her hands moved around in a wild pattern. "I can't explain it but I feel like you're more open? Take off your mask." She commanded and I did so as she leaned in close and she traced my face with her hands. "It's subtle. Very, very subtle but you look more charismatic if that makes any sense at all. I doubt anyone would even notice the change if they hadn't know you for years like I do."
Her hands which had been tracing my face lowered to my neck and it felt like two steel beams tightened around my neck. "Infiltrator protocol." Her voice was cold and deadly.
"A56VB321CH. I fell asleep in your arms after I killed a female Iwa chunin as we relaxed in the osen. I required two shots of muscle relaxant to complete the sensor course. I restored both your arm and your leg through my jutsu called Angel's Breath." I quickly and succinctly listed off my security code and three things we did together that would prove I was who I really was.
Her hands loosened and then glowed green as they no doubt healed the forming bruise on my throat. "Sorry, but I had to be sure." I waved it off as she finished up her healing. "Now. What happened?"
"If you're having trouble even defining it how am I supposed to know?" There was a moment of silence before she looked to the side and grunted.
"Fair enough." She let out a sigh and then ruffled my hair. "You do weird stuff all the time so I'm sure this is just another one of those things. Don't think this will get you out of talking about your date though." I let out a groan and the rest of the night was spent discussing proper ways to treat a lady during a date followed by a particularly difficult spar against Saiko.
As the sun was about to peak back up from the horizon I went to go perform my daily ritual of healing two maimed ninja but I was stopped by a Root shinobi and told to report to Lord Danzo. Feeling curious I made my way to his office and knelt before his desk after I entered.
"Shiro, I have a task for you." I waited as he ran a hand along his chin. He looked as though he hadn't gotten enough sleep and his clothes weren't as crisp as usual. 'Did he not sleep at all last night?' "Several revelations have come to my attention that need to be addressed urgently."
Straightening slightly I gave him my full attention. 'This must be serious.' "As of yesterday we have uncovered the fact that someone outside of Konoha has been stealing our bloodlines and somehow reproducing them in others." My mind briefly blanked as the enormity of this hit me before I snapped myself back to the present.
"What would you have me do?" I suppose I spoke out of turn but he didn't reprimand me at all highlighting how serious he thought this to be.
"Lord Orochimaru has been tasked with studying a retrieved sample and replicating its effects. As of right now I'm reassigning you to his division so consider yourself off duty for as long as he needs you. Of course missions issued by the Hokage supersede this and I have no doubt you and your team will be put on some of the more high profile missions." He shifted in his chair. "Your assigned duties will be explained once you arrive and I'll have someone take you to your new duty station. Dismissed."
I gave him a bow and then left the room. Right outside of the door there was a Root agent waiting for me and I followed them out of the based and to the Torture and Interrogation center. The building itself was very simple, almost plain in its design but we had to go through more than 5 different checkpoints to go deeper into the building.
We continued deeper and deeper into its bowels and faint screaming seemed to emanate from behind almost every closed door. Arriving at a seemingly dead end the Root agent flared his chakra in a pattern and the wall sunk into the floor revealing two more Root agents. I was handed off to them and led even further underground to a large open area where I saw a young girl of about 11 or 12 standing there waiting.
My escort left me and I made my way over to her and took in her appearance as I'm sure she was taking in mine. She had black hair with a blueish tint in a spiky fanned ponytail and a reddish brown shirt with a necklace of some kind around her neck. She also had a slight smirk as I approached and when I got close enough I saw that she had pupil less brown eyes. "What's up pipsqueak? Name's Anko Mitarashi, apprentice of Lord Orochimaru. What's yours?"
I raised an eyebrow at the question from behind my mask. Since I didn't know if she was cleared or not I just let out a monotone, "No one." She pouted and crossed her arms as she regarded me with narrowed eyes.
"Well, 'no one,' why are you here?"
"I was sent to assist Lord Orochimaru in his task." She narrowed her eyes and sent a kunai flying at my head. I tilted my head to the side and let it fly past before it reversed its trajectory to shoot towards Anko as I had attached a chakra string to it as it passed by. "Do you normally attack allies?" I questioned mildly as she caught the kunai and started spinning it around her finger while grinning wildly at me. It wasn't a serious throw but one that you would use to evaluate your targets reactions so I didn't take it seriously. She was just trying to get a rise out of me after all.
"You seem like a fun little toy. We should play sometime." I bumped up her creepiness factor by a notch but that's to be expected from an apprentice of Orochimaru.
"Maybe later. I'm supposed to report to Lord Orochimaru for my assignment and I don't want to keep him waiting." A pout crossed her face before she sighed and put away the kunai.
"Fine. Follow me then." I followed her through a series of corridors into a room filled with lab tech and Orochimaru hunched over a severed white arm while a young male was strapped to a table nearby with numerous incisions all over his body. The male was unconscious and not a threat so I walked over to Orochimaru and bowed.
"Ah yes, young Shiro. How good of you to come so promptly." He turned around to face me and seemed to be studying me intently. "You may remove your mask." With some hesitation I did so even though he had already said my name to his apprentice and strapped the mask to my side.
"Aren't you the Hokage's son? What are you doing here?" Anko asked from behind me.
"I am and I don't know yet." I didn't turn to face her and continued facing Orochimaru. Behind me I could almost feel her indignation at being ignored and Orochimaru's bemused smile probably wasn't helping things.
"Kuhuhuhu. I asked for you to be here because I believe your jutsu could be of great help binding a bloodline to a ninja. In the short time that I've had this arm I've tried implementing a few new ideas with the boy behind me."
'Ah, so that's why I was stopped from using Angel's Breath this morning.' "So would you like me to use it on him now?" I asked politely and he nodded. As I walked towards the naked boy I felt the need to ask what bloodline he was actually trying to recreate. "So what bloodline did you put into him?"
"The mokuton." My leg briefly froze and I almost stumbled. "Yesss. It's been a pleasure working with Harashima's cells. They're almost viral in nature and seem to actually take over the surrounding cells. I've lost a few test subjects as they turned into trees before I managed to cut off their growth." He seemed happy enough to tell me about his research so I kept the questions going now that my interest had been peaked.
"How did you do that?" I looked down on the young boy as I stood over him.
"I placed seals surrounding the cells to cut off their contact with the rest of the body. I theorize that having a healing factor strong enough to overcome the viral nature of the cells would allow them to stabilize and eventually integrate fully." I was nodding along to his explanation.
A thought came to me and I froze. "Is your apprentice cleared for S rank secrets?"
"Of course. Working with me has resulted in her knowing more than one highly classified secret. I trust her to keep this one and the Hokage does as well." Behind him I saw Anko briefly preen with his praise and then went back to absently tossing her kunai in the air. I would trust his word for now but verify it later with Minato. Continuing on then
"So you're going to release the seals as I begin my jutsu and hope for the best."
"Exactly." I took a deep breath and nodded at him.
"I'll begin then." I began forming hand signs as I felt his chakra pump into the boy and small plant growth begin to form in the myriad of cuts in his body. Peripherally I was aware of Anko coming closer but I paid her no mind as my technique completed and with a soft, "Angel's Breath," chakra began to flow out of me.
My jutsu seemed to be working initially as the plant life halted its growth and then slowly withdrew into his body. Eventually there was no hint of growth left and the cuts sealed up. "Marvelous. It seems to be working."
I knew as soon as he had said that it would fail. The laws of the universe demanded it and indeed I could see a swelling in his abdominal area that appeared to be growing larger. I looked on with some curiosity and a grim realization that I had already used more chakra than the technique required and I couldn't cut the flow of chakra out of me. With nothing to do I watched as the boy's skin split apart and a blob of flesh exited it.
The blob hung in midair as the boy's skin repaired itself before the flow of chakra going into him cut off and focused on the blob which was growing. "What are you doing?" Orochimaru's tone was mild but I could detect quite a bit of excitement as well.
"I don't know, but I can't stop." I replied as the blob took on a more and more human form until I was staring at the naked form of a twenty something male with a familiar face. In fact it was the face I saw everyday on the Hokage Mountain. 'I think I just made a clone of the first Hokage.' Was my first thought as the flow of chakra cut off and the body dropped from the air to land on the boy.
As Orochimaru excitedly started to examine the body I took a quick glance at my chakra bar and noted that it had taken the same amount as performing Angel's Breath twice to complete. I looked back towards Orochimaru as he moved the Hokage's body to a new table and started muttering to himself. "Male, age around 25, good muscle tone and bears a striking resemblance to Hashirama Senju. No sign of any higher cognitive functions. Taking blood samples now."
He held his hand over an arm and a blob of blood floated up and into a tube before he moved over to a microscope and put the blood under it. He switched the blood out for another slide and continued switching them until he looked up at me with a smile I wouldn't be surprised to see on a child at a candy store. "You continue to surprise me Shiro. Kuhuhuhu. Somehow you have restored the cells within test subject 5 into a clone of Hashirama with his bloodline intact." He blinked as though just remembering something and I didn't even see him move before he was next to subject 5.
"Congratulations kid." I looked over to Anko and she was standing there giving me a crazy grin with two thumbs up. "You've successfully made a man pregnant and delivered the baby."
I blinked slowly as the words penetrated my brain and I tilted my head at her. "I understand each word in that sentence but you've strung them together to form nonsense."
She stuck out her tongue at me for my cheekiness and it extended far more than it had any right to. She must have learned the tongue extension jutsu somewhere and I being the mentally mature adult stuck my tongue out and made it longer than hers. I saw her blink in surprise before she sucked her tongue back in and grinned at me. "Where did you learn that?"
"Jiraiya told me he was going to teach me a technique that would leave people screaming but then he taught me that." I shrugged nonchalantly. "I don't use it for much but for some reason when an adult sees it they pay me with a jutsu to learn it."
Her eyes widened as she regarded me. "Wait, really?"
"Yep. I've gotten three different jutsus out of it so far." Her eyes glazed over for a moment as though thinking of all the possibilities before she shook her head as though to clear it.
"Huh, I'll have to give that a try sometime." She went back to playing catch with her kunai and after a while with nothing to do I started to do the same. Grinning at me again she sent her kunai my way while I threw mine at her. The game acknowledged and accepted we started adding more and more kunai until there were 20 kunai flying between us. Just as we started to add erratic arcs and bouncing them off each other Orochimaru cleared his throat from behind me.
The was a flurry of movement as we tossed each other's kunai back and stored them away before I turned towards Orochimaru. "While intriguing beyond measure that you can apparently create a perfect copy of the first Hokage from simple cells. The test was still a failure in regards to granting subject 5 the bloodline. All traces of foreign DNA were expelled from his body and it is in perfect health." He clicked his tongue as he started writing something down on a clipboard.
"I'm deeming this an overall positive result as I now have untainted materials to work with. As such you will be called upon to create more bodies of bloodline holders in the future as necessary." Pressing a button two orderlies entered the room and wheeled subject 5 out before returning with a naked girl that they strapped down to the table. He turned towards the girl and paused as though remembering something.
"How good are you at medical ninjutsu?"
"Battlefield proficient. I can heal broken bones as of right now and I know the chakra scalpel technique. Why?"
"Would you like me to teach you how to become a better healer?" Answering a question with a question is an annoying habit that most ninja seem to pick up. If he wanted to play it that way though.
"Maybe, but what's the catch?" He smiled thinly at me.
"Not much at all. I merely want a sample of your blood and perhaps more samples in the future if needed." 'He wants to study what kind of bloodline I have.' I tilted my head as I regarded him. This could be an opportunity to gain more techniques if I play this right.
"I'm sorry, but if that's all you're offering then I'm going to have to pass." Instead of looking put out by my refusal he just started chuckling.
"Kuhuhuhu, of course, how silly of me to think a bloodline would be worth so little. How about an A rank jutsu of your choice?"
I paused as though considering it. "An A and B rank of my choice along with your offer to teach me to be a better healer." I heard a strangled sound coming from Anko but I ignored it for the moment.
"Hmm, you ask a lot for a simple vial of blood." I shrugged in response.
"I was assigned to your department so I know I'm going to become a better healer by cutting people up then putting them back together anyway. So what you're really offering is just two techniques which you should only have to show me once." I smiled pleasantly at him. "Maybe I should ask for more if your part of the deal only takes you a minute and a bit of chakra whereas you're asking for permission to discover bloodline secrets."
There was a moment of silence and I knew I had him when he nodded slowly. "It would seem we have a deal. Are there any techniques you desire in particular?"
"Fire." I said without hesitation. With A and B rank fire techniques I would have every basic element covered even if they were a bit more expensive than normal.
"I see. I'll prepare a list of fire techniques I know and you can choose from that list later. Now roll up your sleeve." I did so and he withdrew three vials worth of blood before he told me he was finished for the moment. As I rolled up my sleeve Orochimaru put away two of the vials and held up the third one as he twirled it. "You know I've been fascinated with your bloodline and how you seem to adapt to new things so quickly. In fact…" he trailed off and withdrew some blood from the Hashirama clone before mixing a drop of my blood with his and putting it under a microscope.
As he watched through the microscope a huge smile formed on his face. "Your cells and Hashirama's seem to be vying for dominance instead of falling before them like others have." He watched for a few more minutes and then pulled away as he pulled out the blood mixture from the microscope. Quickly sealing it away he pulled out a different person's blood and mixed a little of my blood with theirs before going back to the microscope. "Interesting." He said after a few minutes and gave me a look that was almost hungry in nature.
"Well?" I said shaking off the slight discomfort resulting from his stare.
"I don't want to jump to conclusions so I'll wait to make sure. Now about teaching you to be a better medic." He moved over to the girl and motioned me to stand across from him. "Make incisions here, here and here then we'll go from there." I internally grimaced at what I was doing but continued nevertheless. This would be a long day.
The rest of the day was more of the same and I retired for the night to train alone this time because Saiko was out on a mission. As most of Root seemed to be because I had never felt the base feel so empty before. It was probably because of the recent revelation and I didn't pay it much mind. Morning dawned and I created another clone although this time it was from the Yuki clan then I had to report to the Hokage for the final verdict on the results of the Chunin Exams.
Nodding politely to both Shisui and Hina as I saw them I grinned internally as Hina huffed and turned away. "So what did you guys do for your days off?"
"Relaxed for a bit and then trained with Itachi." Shisui said.
"The clan is making preparations for the birthday of the clan head's daughter. She'll be 1 soon and I helped with that. What about you?"
"Oh, you know. Telling bedtime stories to my sisters and looking for good tea houses." Hina merely twitched but before she could say anything the door to the Hokage's office opened and we were beckoned in. As one we entered and knelt in front of Minato's desk.
"Rise." Minato said and I took in the fact that Jiraiya was here as well as Kakashi for some reason as I stood up. "Today," he stood up and walked around his desk to stand in front of us. "Is the day you become more than a ninja in service to Konoha. Today is the day you become the leaders of others. Shisui, step forward."
He did so and Minato held out his hand to the side where a green flak jacket appeared in his hand. "Today is the day you become a Chunin of Konoha." He held the flak jacket before him and presented it to Shisui. "Wear it with pride." Shisui gave a low bow and quickly put the vest on before stepping back in line with us. The process was repeated twice more for Hina and I before Minato stepped back behind his desk and sat down. The new vest seemed almost heavier than it should have as it wrapped around me.
"Congratulations to all of you. Because of your efforts Konoha stands strong in the eyes of others." He cleared his throat and then continued. "As of right now Team Jiraiya is disbanded and reformed as Team Kakashi. Know this is not a slight against you but that Jiraiya's responsibilities have been deemed to vital for him to take a Chunin team with him at this time. Kakashi is one of my students and has already reached the rank of Jonin before I even took office. He will lead you on your missions." He gave us a moment to take that in before continuing.
"Unfortunately, Kakashi has a mission that he needs to go on so you will be without a leader for the next week. Use this time as you will but know I will have a mission for you within a week of Kakashi returning. If there are no questions you are all dismissed."
We all bowed and exited the room. Once we had left the Hokage's tower I turned to both of them. "So do you guys want to celebrate this occasion?" They both looked at each other then nodded. In the end we decided to go to the Akimichi clan's bbq restaurant for lunch. We also ordered a bottle of sake as well. 'Got to love the fact that they let us drink because we're ninja.'
We raised our cups and clinked them together as we intoned, "Congratulations." I had never had sake before but my first sip reminded me of a very dry white wine.
Ding! Poison resisted.
I blinked at the message and only an iron will stopped me from breaking down crying. 'Nooooo. Why cruel world? Why would you stop me from getting drunk?' The world was silent to my torture and my teammates continued chatting without a care in the world.
I came out of my self-pity when I heard Shisui talking to me. Blinking I asked, "I'm sorry could you repeat that?" Hina let out a giggle.
"Oh, it looks like we've found Shiro's weakness, alcohol." I shook my head as I snorted. 'Not at all. I could probably drink everyone here under the table now.'
"No, I was simply thinking of something else. Forgive my lapse in concentration." He waved it off.
"It's no big deal, but I asked if the rumors that you've been adopted by the Hokage are true." 'Ah, those rumors that almost led me to having a snapped neck because of a stupid title.'
"Yes. Minato officially announced it in Suna when we were at a dinner meeting with the Kazekage."
"Wait that's what you were doing you got back so late before the finals? I thought you were just goofing off somewhere." Hina's eyes were wide as she said that and I gave her a droll look.
"I don't goof off." She rolled her eyes as she snorted.
"Sure you don't. That's why you keep on trying to embarrass me." 'Huh? Where did that come from? Did someone talk to her about what I was doing because she surely didn't seem like she knew what I was doing before? Time to test the waters a bit.'
"I have no idea what you're talking about." I took another sip of sake as our food arrived. "On a related note when would you like to go to a tea ceremony? I found a place called the Joukeian that has both informal and formal tea ceremonies but I didn't place a reservation for our date yet. Which type would you prefer?"
I was watching closely as I said that and while she did blush slightly it was absolutely minimal. 'Yes someone pointed it out to her that I was fishing for reactions. Probably her parents.' She cleared her throat. "I believe that the informal ceremony would be best and seeing as we are free for the next week I believe any day this week in the afternoon would work." I nodded and that was that. Over the course of the meal strangers, to me, would come up and congratulate us on our promotion. It was mostly Uchiha clan members but there were a few Hyuga as well that came up and congratulated us.
The meal ended and we broke apart for the day. I went over to Joukeian and got a reservation for Hina and I two days from now before sending off a shadow clone to inform her. Other than informing Minato of Anko seeing Angel's Breath and him okaying the fact that she knew the rest of the day was uneventful and it stayed that way for the next two days as I worked alongside Orochimaru.
I did of course get my two jutsu from Orochimaru and they were pretty awesome in my opinion.

I certainly thought the trade was worth it as they would probably be more worthwhile than a nonexistent bloodline. Unless of course Gamer's Body has turned into a bloodline which may be why Orochimaru is getting even creepier around me.
Coming out of my thoughts as I approached the Hyuga compound I saw Hina waiting at the gate for me. She was wearing a pink blossomed kimono and she had let her hair down to her shoulders. Reflexively I glanced down at my dark blue kimono. I was glad that Kushina had made me go get one for this otherwise I would have just come in my work clothes. Coming up to her I gave a small bow. "You look lovely today Hina." 'I also smell cherry blossoms. A perfume that matches your kimono. Very nice.'
"Hmm, thank you. You don't look to bad yourself. Shall we?" She held out her arm and I intertwined it with my own.
"We shall." We walked away from the gate and down the road a little ways before I spoke again. "I'm sorry this thing spiraled out of control a bit. It was just meant to be something between friends but mentioning it as a date… Well my mother gave me an earful for that."
She snorted. "You think your mom gave you an earful. You should have heard mine. I think it was two days of nonstop talking before my dad stepped in and told me I was not to date anyone before I was 14." She gave me a playful glare. "Try topping that as a horrible conversation."
"Ha. I've got you beat then. When I was 3 Jiraiya stopped me in the street and gave me one of his orange covered book along with 2 other male ninjas. Since I was a naïve little child I took them and showed them to my trainer, who is doing a horrible job of following me." I raised my voice and there was a clatter from an alleyway we passed. Hina raised an eyebrow at that I continued regardless. "That was the first time I've ever felt killing intent directed at me and she burned all three of the books before putting me through a training course from hell. After the end of it I ran to the Uchiha's to escape as my mom and trainer hunted down Jiraiya and I was so covered in blood I clogged their drain washing it off."
Hina gazed at me for a solid second or two before she started giggling. "That's horrible."
"I know and the worst thing is that I can't sense her anymore but she's probably around here and she can hear me now." Her veins bulged briefly before they receded.
"We have a good 5 or 6 people following us right now. Don't they have anything better to do with their days?"
"Apparently not." I commented as I held the door to Joukeian open for her. We walked up to the front desk and the receptionist gave us a bow.
"Welcome. Do you have a reservation or are you a walk in?"
"Reservation for two under the name Shiro." She looked down on her sheet for a moment before she found it.
"Ah, yes. Here it is. If our honored guests would step this way." The receptionist led us to a mostly empty room where we switched out our sandals for tabi, a special kind of sock. There was also a hanging scroll depicting a winter landscape which we both studied for a while before we were called into the main room where the tea ceremony would take place.
After silently bowing to the host and ritually cleansing ourselves we sat and watched as the host artistically prepared the thin green tea. Each motion precise and calculated as he moved. It was almost like watching a dance and all too soon it ended as the thin green tea was served along with some snacks that complemented it. After that there was a simple period of casual conversation between Hina and before we left I was allowed to carefully examine the tools necessary to prepare the tea and with that done we gave one final bow before leaving tea house.
The walk back to the Hyuga was quiet and as we got to the gate she turned to face me. "Thank you for accompanying me to the tea ceremony. It was something I have wanted to see for a while but I would not have gone alone."
"It was my pleasure and I did have a good time doing it with you. I'll see you tomorrow for practice." I inclined my head.
"I'll see you there. Have a pleasant rest of your day."
"And you as well." She turned and walked away from me leaving me with the scent of cherry blossoms lingering in the air. I stood there for a moment or two before I felt a familiar chakra screaming towards me. I didn't react as a red headed blur picked me and we vanished from the street.
As we came to a halt I found myself tied to a chair facing an energetic Kushina and a masked Saiko. "Tell us everything. Don't you even dare leave one thing out." I sighed. This would take a while.
